Vietnamese immigrant and Louisville, Kentucky local Yung Nguyen has spearheaded the launch of the Tri Ân Monument competition that seeks memorial designs commemorating veterans of the Vietnam War. Created as part of the Tri Ân Foundation—Tri Ân means “deep gratitude” in Vietnamese—the contest is open to anyone from around the world. The monument should honor and express deep gratitude for the millions of Americans and Vietnamese who fought side-by-side to stop communist aggression. Three finalists will receive a cash prize of $4,000 USD each. The registration deadline is August 15, 2016 and the deadline for submissions is August 28, 2016.
